Captain Marvel and the Carol Corps by Kelly Sue DeConnick

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Kelly DeConnick's run on Captain Marvel ends on a whimper. The book has some decent action and is certainly a brisk read. The idea of Carol Danvers leading an all-female crew of pilots is interesting but the realization is off. With so many characters in the Carol Corps, it's hard to really get a feel for any of them.

Ultimately, the action bits as well as battling the army of flying Thors are the highlight of the book. The book also throws in Issue 17 of Captain Marvel's 2012 run. The issue is still good, but the idea of a libertarian villain just hasn't aged particularly well. Still, it's a sweet story.

Overall, the book is okay but not really a must-read.
